Caffespresso - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

what can I say, this place is incredible. I ordered a black decaf coffee. They were able to make a decaf Americano and it was absolutely incredible. Imagine if that is that good. I can only imagine. The real coffee is even better. I eventually will get to that. Now the food was on another level. I got a Panini with smoked salmon and capers. I was expecting it to be fairly average. My expectations are very low for whatever reason. And let me tell you it blew my mind. This was one of the most incredible sandwiches I've ever had. Very satisfying. Overall, I believe this is an Argentinian type restaurant/café and they have a lot of very interesting. Delicious options that I am excited to try. But first impression here was amazing. read more

Absolutely delicious coffee. The Genovese Panini was perfect. I bought a bag of Gellatti Italian shortbread. It was pricey but MARVELOUS. The ambiance is totally comfy. The service is impeccable. One of my best friends introduced me to Caffespresso. I have shared it with other dear friends read more

Delicious Terra panini! Excellent coffee and service. hanging art work is impressive.

Ordered a charcuterie board but was told they didn't know how to put one together. Then please don't put it on the menu. Thanks!

Wonderful Americano!!! Love supporting local cafe that's been here for 17 years. Great service & warm atmosphere!

Decided to try out this small cafe and they were busy ! Granted it was a Saturday morning, they were pretty busy with a few chairs open still. The snack/food options they had were pretty nice and I enjoyed the pastry i had. The drink I got was one of their special blends and it was alright. Definitely could've gotten something a bit more normal and enjoy it much more than I did. Will have to try this place again and give their drinks a second shot. read more

We may have ordered the wrong thing as I wasn't impressed with the coffee. Breakfast sandwich was okay. I did like that they carry some Italian pastas, cookies, sauces and the like-making it potentially a great spot to pick up a bottle of wine and things to make a great dinner at home. Service was fine. I will definitely keep this place in mind if I need to pick up things to make a great Italian meal but I don't think I would return for coffee. read more

This cafe is a hidden gem! Very cute setup inside with a large outdoor patio. I got the medium roast drip coffee and my mom got the Paradiso latte. The drop coffee was good but the latte was reallyyy good. We didn't order food but the paninis we saw at other tables looked delicious. The staff was so nice and friendly and continuously cleaning tables as guests were leaving. read more

Hey, the coffee was great. The inside is very small, but it was buzzing with activity and a great vibe. I ordered a Panini, which I wish came out quicker cause I was getting it to go, but I waited and it was worth the wait. It was very good. read more

I've driven past this place for several years. Finally a friend and I decided to meet there for coffee. What a treat. Tables, chairs, small selection of Italian groceries and wine. A comfortable place to sit for a big mug of mocha coffee with soy. We ordered mediums, and the came in nice colorful mugs. Thick mocha you never find at Starbucks or anywhere else I've been. We ordered at the register and they brought our coffee to us. No standing around, people's names being shouted. I'll be back! read more

Caffespresso is an amazing place, the ambiance is go cool; it's like sitting in a cafe in Italy. The coffee is exceptionally good & the food is make fresh & tastes delicious. I love Caffespresso! read more

Wonderful coffee cafe, the way it should be. Great coffee, great food, great people, with wonderful ambience. Go and enjoy!

When you first walk in, you notice that it has a very cozy and antique feel to it. There are lots of paintings on the walls. Definitely has an old-school Italian vibe here, minus the Italian mob. Operation is standard as other cafes: walk to the front counter to see the menu and order. The barista will take down your order and will bring it out when ready. We get to choose where we sit, similar to Starbucks, but this place is more original and less corporate. They brought out our drinks first. I got the Caramel Mido Latte drink. It had the whipped cream and caramel design on top - you know, those squiggly line things. The latte was made perfectly. It wasn't overly sweet or bitter. Just right for me. Then the #2 Ferrera Panini came out. It was a delicious blend of salami, cheese, mustard, and other things. The Ferrera Panini was crunchy, hot, and you can taste the freshness. You cannot go wrong with this. I got the choice of potato chips as my side. Lastly, I got a small Cannoli for my dessert. It's a custard cream. It has powdered sugar, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup on top. It was delicious because it had the right sweetness to it. Everything I had was a delight to my taste buds. I talked to the barista and he told me that the business has been opened for 11 to 12 years now. The owner is a real Italian guy who came here as a teenager. This is definitely a hidden gem. I wouldn't have come here if not for me looking up cafes on Yelp - yay for Yelp! From the cozy feel, freshness in the ingredients, to the fair pricing, it's a win all around. Definitely a good place to check out when the weather is nice. Or bad, when you need that hot cup of coffee. Do yourself a favor and check out this place! read more

I just so happen to see this place on Yelp and I needed coffee, needless to say my expectations weren't high. But I have to say after stepping through the door I was pleasantly surprised. The place was full of customers just enjoying the fares and ambiance. I was only going to get a coffee, but I by chance met the owner who introduced me to their wine selection. And I of course, had to try their pastries. Needless to say, I will be stopping by this cafe on my way to work from now on. This was just my first trip, I will have a follow up. read more

great coffee and service ! they even print photos on your coffee !! I will be coming back for sure. Check them out!

Good coffee. I had mine with lavender syrup and it was very good. Reasonable prices. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Italian based cooking grocery is available in the store. Friendly people. I would go back again. read more

WOW. Let me just tell you that I love being pleasantly surprised. I had a gift card here from my orthodontist so I decided to stop in after an appointment. I. Was. Amazed. I ordered the egg and cheese focaccia as well as the Odissea and wow. I've never had a better coffee in my life. Ever. The environment was so cute too! If you are in a rush, probably not the best place but good things come to those who wait. The focaccia was delightful. Perfectly toasted. Let me just say that I am now a forever customer. They also have a wine club! read more

Loved the coffee! There was just the right amount of sweetener mixed into my latte to give it an amazing taste. Also, the bagels were very good and the panini as well! Overall great work or study spot! read more

I would give this pace 10 stars. BY far the best Latte I have ever had. I go out of my way, park my car and walk in. Wait for my Latte. Walk back to my car and enjoy the best, freshest coffee you can find in RVA. read more

I am new to the area and was used to the array of local coffee shops downtown. I was hoping to find a locally owned shop here, and I could not be any happier with this place. When I let them know I had just moved to the area, they walked me through the menu and made me feel so welcome! And the special breakfast was ridiculously delicious, as were the drinks (I got the Odessea and my boyfriend got a macchiato). I am also a sucker for homey feeling atmospheres, and this place feels so cozy and happy. I will definitely be a new regular here! read more

Caffespresso - Special Breakfast with Truffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

A taste of Italy, this is one of the best coffee houses in Richmond. Located in the West End, it's a great cozy spot to grab a quick cup of coffee or nestle in and read, work on your computer, or chat with friends and share some common grounds! I love the book shelves in the back where you can borrow books and leave books. And Claudio, the owner, is super nice too. He hosted my book launch and book signing here which was a success. He also hosts musicians, wine tastings and other events. The bakery goods are amazing!! The croissants will make you slap you mama, they are incredible! They are as big as your head and full of flaky buttery flavor! Try the CANNOLIS!! Their specialty coffees are delectable... especially the Dante Paradiso, hence the name, Paradise! And the sandwiches are hearty and fresh. The outdoor seating is lovely and there's bike parking in the alcove. Be sure to visit their sister shop in Carytown "10". I can't say enough great things about this coffee shop!! read more

Staff are amazing, Found this gem randomly and have been back many times. Pleasantly quiet, considering their almost always busy when I go. They have fresh cheese's, marinara sauce, as Italian meats for sale. Their Odissea has been my favorite latte I've tried, but was never disappointed by any of their others. Caffespresso's panini's are otherworldly. Most cafe's sandwiches always leave something to be desired with me, but they really nailed the mark on being fresh, bread having crunch, just overall always a great experience. read more

Very kind, patient people willing to answer any question asked! Ordered two paninis and two coffees. The food was expensive, but oh, so good! There was a minor sandwich misunderstanding that they were quick to fix, and did it very understandingly. These employees definitely have "the customer is always right" mentality! read more

Expertly crafted coffee, nice baked goods and sandwiches, wine and a cozy environment...what more do you need? This is my new go-to coffee place and I plan to add it to my work-from-home options. Love the environment, the cool bookcase with lots of books to read, the cushy couches and the outdoor area. This is a reflection of what a Café society should be. The owner is Italian and he's brought a small taste of Italy to the West End. Probably the best coffee I've had recently. read more

I so, so want to write a glowing review of this unique little spot in the West End, but alas. There's always *something* small that keeps me from feeling that 5-star satisfaction. I'll give you some anecdotes. Last time I was here, a family of 6 came in for Sunday brunch. This included food orders with espresso drinks, but the frenzied chaos it produced from the staff behind the counter would make you think they were catering a wedding -- The poor kid at the register was scribbling and scratching things out on notepad paper, had the man repeat himself a dozen times, and when it was all clear about 5 minutes later, the receipt was sent to the wrong email and another round of chaos ensued. The whole family of 6 was crammed in by the counter trying to stay out of everyone's way, but a long line filed up behind them. Takeaway: it just seemed like the staff was having a hard time handling a larger order. If you're coming here on a Sunday, especially, be prepared to be patient. May not be the best for groups larger than 3. I went in for a light lunch and ordered soup since it was on the menu, and it sounded good on a rainy day. No soup until October, I was told. Okay, so I ordered a salad off the menu. They stopped making that salad a long time ago, I was told. Totally not a big deal, but there are small changes you can make to your menu to better set expectations with clients and minimize those "bummer" moments. When I came for a very time-restricted work lunch, the girl making food "got confused" and didn't bring out my order for 30 minutes, forcing me to go up to the counter and ask about it, then scarf it down. I love chai lattes, but when I took the first sip of theirs, I found it to be sickly sweet. Redemption is that their espresso and coffee drinks are great. Three stars for the atmosphere and take-one, leave-one book shelf area. Very cute. Love that you can stay for an afternoon if you'd like. But all in all, this place could be leveled up by a bit more thoughtfulness and customer service. read more

Glad I drove by and stopped in. Sweet service. My coffee came out perfect! I will return and try more soon!

really good coffee drinks and I like that they had their own unique drinks. Great outdoor seating space and very cute/cozy inside. Pricing is fine- probably comparable to starbucks. The customer service definitely leaves something to be desired. read more

Absolutely delicious, as always!! The sandwiches were perfect, toasted just right and excellent, fresh ingredients! Claudio makes the dough for his sandwiches from scratch every day, and the flavor is out of this world! SOOO YUMMY! Worth even driving out of our way to get food this good! His cafe espresso is EXACTLY like you would get in Italy, cannot be beat! Today we also got some of his pistachio biscotti.. OMG fabulous! He makes these from scratch himself as well. SO good, I bought even extra to take to work with me. Love the beautiful photography of so many romantic and historic places and architecture of Italy! Great place to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a coffee break, and can even do a curbside pickup! Love Cafespresso! read more

This wasn't my first time to this cozy little nook, but it's been a while because honestly I didn't receive the greatest service last time. I felt like I was bothering the staff just ordering a latte and pastry. But today's visit was so stellar that I know I will be back! Colleen had a smile on her face from the time I walked in the door and was a complete joy to encounter. I had a vanilla brown sugar latte, a ham and cheese croissant, and a Nutella croissant. Everything was delicious. The ham and cheese is small so you'll probably need to order something else if you're hungry. The Nutella croissant is everything you would imagine. And the latte tasted more like brown sugar and cinnamon than vanilla which was fine. Next time I think I'll try white chocolate and brown sugar. Just before leaving Colleen actually introduced herself and asked for my name, even shaking my hand ever so politely. I wanted to tell her to quit her job and come work for me. But then I wouldn't see her the next time I went for another Nutella croissant so I just smiled and offered my name. I will definitely be back. read more

Loved this little coffee shop/cafe! The Italian Cappuccino was reminiscent of those I've had in Italy. The Caprese Panini was flavorful with just the right crunch. The cafe is super cute with good music played at just the right level and a relaxed, sit-a-bit vibe. read more

Tried out this place and got an iced Dante's Paradiso to go- great flavor! The espresso is a lot stronger than a chain coffee place but definitely a bold flavor without tasting burnt. I couldn't really taste any other flavor besides vanilla but it tasted exactly like a real adult coffee should- bold and flavorful without being overpowering or sickly sweet. The staff was so kind and great and explained the menu to me. The shop also has a really good selection of Italian goods. The whole place is a little small and only has a few tables inside but the patio definitely looks like it's comfy during the summer. Overall, really good coffee and really amazing experience! read more

Super cute coffee shop with a hipster vibe. Located in the outskirts of the west end it is a cozy and inviting space with benches adorned with cushions and ample seating so you're not on top of your fellow patrons. They use hefty mugs for your coffee so it feels just like a coffee on a Sunday at home. We ordered the Reese's latte which was a little treat for us and it wasn't overwhelming sweet, but gave us our caffeine fix. We also had an egg and cheese sandwich that was made with a panini press. The cheese was top notch and the sandwich bread expertly toasted!! Highly recommend checking this place out for a cup of coffee and a little snack. read more

This cute little coffee/sandwich place is right next to my work. Their coffee is delicious. I often stop by to grab a latte. Service is great and servers are always happy. They also carry a wide selection of sandwiches. I am a vegetarian and their sandwich with the artichoke spread is amazing! It is freshly made on a crispy Foccacia bread with grilled vegetables. You get a side salad or chips. The prices are also very reasonable. If there is one thing I would complain about it is their wait times. Since sandwiches are freshly made, sometimes it takes them up to 20 minutes to make a sandwich on a busy lunch day. But then you can argue, it's worth the wait! read more

Caffespresso is what a coffee shop should be--and, unfortunately, usually isn't. This is a great 'neighborhood' cafe - even if you live miles away. Friendly staff, great coffee/expresso and made-to-order food, and staff who are friends and get to know you. Comfortable and relaxed; a super place to settle down with friends, a book or your tablet and cozy up for a while. Owner Claudio Ragazzi and his staff provide a warm welcome and lots of great treats and options. You can't go wrong here--unless, of course, what you're looking for is the same old coffee in a corporate environment about as friendly and warm as a turnip. In that case, Caffespresso may not be for you. read more

We love our cafe espresso! 100% the best coffee in our area. The staff is like family to us, and they are so warm and welcoming:) the new option to buy pasta and other authentic Italian fares, is so nice too. The pasta is insane quality. If you go for a coffee, please buy some pasta and wine too. All of its delish! read more
